I bought the house but want to gift out this house to my parents
If it is yours, you can surely gift it. Either a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed will do the trick. I'd have to check, but the transaction may be tax-free, like a transfer between spouses. If not, there will be transfer and recordation taxes. The mortgage loan to a near certainty has a... Read more »
My mother’s will specifies my sibling gets the house if he secures a loan to satisfy the reverse mortgage loan within 90 days of her passing. The will goes on to say that if my sibling sells, or is unable to maintain the house for a three year period the house is to be sold and the proceeds split... Read more »
The answer is in the document you cite, and the words in that document matter. You say it says "within 90 days of [her] passing" in the Will. Does it? What you need is counsel to review the Will and file a claim at the appropriate time.
So I sold my house as is and we had to do everything thru video call cause the virus has closed everything down so I had the one hud paper then after I sign the paper they sent me another hud paper thru email and instead of getting the $19 thousand and some change they changed it to me getting...

Perhaps you could review the actual fact with real lawyer to determine whether you have a cause of action rather than your approach of asking an underwhelming question on the Internet.
You aren’t providing enough information. If you hold the entire fee simple of any house, whether your parents are living there or not, you may sell it for fun or profit. If you don’t, you can’t. Consult counsel to review the title.
I am the executor. But I have to wait to be qualified. Courts have been closed since March. Everything is delayed due to Supreme Court ruling in Virginia. My parent passed in early May. Bills need to be payed. I am willing to pay from my own money to keep power, water etc going as I already lived... Read more »
I'm not sure that you have any duties until the Court appoints you as Executor or Administrator, but it would seem to be in your interest to pay the bills to keep the utilities turned on. In many places, utility companies have either voluntarily or by state orders indicated that they will not... Read more »

Maybe it is time to get divorced already?
about the purchase. They want out of the contract. They are pressuring me to sign a document basically stating a mutual agreement to break the contract and forfeiting their deposit. What alternatives do I have?
You have to start by reading your contract, and they are not all the same. In what is probably the most common version of purchase and sale agreement, in the event of a default ... which, without hearing more facts and the other side's version ... is what your buyer is proposing that he do,...

This reads like a fairly simple sharecropper agreement with no rental value unless the tenant breaches. To achieve you complete objectives, you probably want to customize the lease, but doing this without a signed agreement will be a very bad idea, especially if your project succeeds and the...

My son is now joint owner with uncle. Since my son paid off the debt to keep it from being lost 90,000 dollars does he have any legal rights outside of just being owner.
Before the statute of limitations expires, he should issue a proper demand and then, if needed, file a lawsuit for contribution from the other co-owner. It's an easy lawsuit, and it expires when the statute of limitations expires. The payment of the debt does not change the percentage... Read more »
File what? Where? For what? After she has mishandled the trust in what way?

My grandparents left the house and 50 acres to my mom as owner of the life estate. My brother and I will inherit the house and 50 acres after her death to be split evenly (we have already agreed my brother gets the house + 20 acres and I get the remaining 30 acres). Am I able to build a house now... Read more »
You need a title search before you invest significant money in construction. Assuming your mother has a life estate to the entire property, you will need her consent so long as she is alive. You will, of course, need all the other approvals you need in your jurisdiction for new construction,... Read more »
Is it legal for me to rent out my Maryland state home to my LLC (Registered in FL)? My LLC's principle address is the same as my Maryland home, but now I want to rent the home entirely to the LLC and move out. I would live somewhere else, but use the home for business purposes only. Given the... Read more »
I agree with Mr. Blackburn that it is perfectly legal, but I don't think it accomplishes what you are trying to accomplish. If the LLC you form is a passthrough entity with partnership taxation, then the formation is a wash. The rental income passes through to you after writing off the... Read more »
Weird situation as I am 39 and just found out that a man that I have known as my godfather whom I've spoken with my whole life was actually my biological father. I'm named after him as well.

Have her draft a Will. Pay for her legal fee. Drive her there. Sit outside. Smile.
I don’t understand why you are embarrassed to tell your step-mother that her husband was your father when she already confirmed it, but a Will in your favor will be much stronger than an out-of-time claim... Read more »
She recently modified the walkway, using same materials.
I suspect this is one of those "pay me now, or pay me more later" moments. When you contracted for the walkway, you could easily and cheaply create an access easement. If you didn't do that expressly, you might have created an estoppel in fact by your actions or your emails. But,... Read more »
Not too long ago, my roommate, girlfriend, and I were attacked on our front porch by a neighbor in which we do not know the name of or where they are in the neighborhood. We then filed assault and informed the landlord. Since then, this neighbor has stalked me constantly as I’ve noticed him when... Read more »
Step one is a lease review, and a lay person review isn't the same as a lawyer review. But, if you are certain that you have no alternatives there, the next step is to negotiate a termination with the landlord. The fact that a third party unrelated to the landlord has threatened you is... Read more »

1. Get a survey.
2. Send him a No Trespass letter to get off your land.
3. Hire a lawyer to get him off your land.
Or,

2. Pay a lawyer a ton of money to defend his... Read more »
Flag is 3x5
The HOA can require you to follow its rules, and neither flags nor images of religious icons change that. To determine whether the HOA is following its rules, retain counsel to review the Declarations, and the rules and rulings of the HOA.
I have had no relationship with him nor anyone for almost 50 yrs. Apparently he really didnt have anything. A crappy car, bank acct. I live in TN his estate is in MD. My question is what do I do? I'm not spending a penny to do anything for a stranger for might be nothing in the end. Help
If he had nothing, you have nothing. If he had a Will and gave everything to someone else or designated a beneficiary for his liquid assets, and that isn't you, you have nothing. You might have a right to the crappy car. If he had something in the bank, the bank isn't allowed to tell you... Read more »
I have a buyer for my home, Due to no fault of my own I cannot purchase my condo because of covid and lenders put halt on funds. This sale is contingent on the successful sale, close and disbursement of funds for the property. I don't know what my rights are?
This is a unique and unanticipated situation, and we are all struggling to determine the legal effects. The answer starts with reading your contract. There are no precedents that say: "If your sale is halted by Covid-19, the result is always ABC regardless of what your contract says."... Read more »
Hello –
I have water leaking into my city basement home. I have done numerous repairs and attempts to lead the water away from my home but realize that I cannot control this without the city properly maintaining their alley. The cement alley has numerous cracks throughout and has an old... Read more »
You need to start with a title search to determine whether the alley is owned by the city or whether the city merely has an easement to it. You then need to determine who has the duty to maintain, and whether you have the right to make the repair yourself. If the responsibility belongs to the city,... Read more »
